This item in Anglo-Norman prose offers a fail-safe formula for insuring that God hears one’s prayers. Following it, though, would require extraordinary devotion, patience, and persistence. One is to recite daily three time-honored hymnal prayers — the Veni Creator, the Gloria in excelsis Deo, and Vulgate Psalm 129 (De profundis) — thirty times each, for four months. Tucked between two works in Latin, this article augments other texts of religious counsel occupying quire 15. As a work that references hymns, it can be compared to arts. 102 and 108, and it points, perhaps, to a musical component residing in the mind of one who would preserve lists of efficacious psalms (arts. 101, 110, 111).
